Hardin approves water rate increase

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Hardin Village Board of Trustees approved a three-year plan with step increases in water rates starting in February to bring its revenues in line with expenditures.

Board member Dave Hurley presented an informational survey produced by the Illinois American Water Company. The information included a step increase of $5 bi-monthly each

year for three years, meaning water bills will have raised by $7.50 by the third year to $32.50 per month or $65 per billing cycle.

By adding the $2.50 per month – $5 per billing cycle – for the first year, the additional revenue will nearly cover the estimated $13,900 in maintenance costs not covered with current revenues.

With the increase, the village will have a better chance to be awarded grants for which it has been turned

down. Board members said they’ve been refused grants because their water bills aren’t high enough, but after three years, the bills may be at a level which would allow the village to seek grant money and pay for the matching funds often associated with such grants.

According to the report, the village of Hardin delivers 39.7 million gallons of water to its residents per year and pays around $139,000 to do so.

With 456 connections in Hardin, each

connection costs $305.88 each year.

However, the cost to deliver the water does not include any of the maintenance costs to upgrade water lines, install flush hydrants, or flush the water lines, among other regular duties.

Though the revenue of $136,800 is in line with the expenses, he said as problems persist, the village will not have money to address issues of murky water or introduce upgrades to the system.

GIRLS FACE OFF

“Everything is old here. Pumps break. We’ve got hydrants we have got to replace. We want to put some smaller hydrants in so we can start flushing,” Hurley said, “but we don’t have any money for it. … These complaints will keep coming until we start replacing things and have the money to replace them.”

Hurley said the village continues to get complaints about water, but without any money to fix the problems, the (See, rate inCrease, A2)

The region battled high winds carrying heavy snow over the weekend, creating hazardous driving conditions for those who braved the weather.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said residents of the county had not reported accidents due to the snow, unlike neighboring Jersey County.

“I think everybody paid attention when we told people just to stay home and only go out in emergencies,” Heffington said.

Travelers who frequently use ferries to enter and exit the county have been unable to board the ships. The ferry route in Kampsville was closed Dec. 30 due to icy conditions and it is not clear when it will reopen. The Brussels Ferry closed Jan. 2, and was expected to reopen Jan. 6 at 12 p.m. but was still closed at press time.

The sheriff said snow removal teams from the Calhoun County Highway Department have been hard at work clearing the major roadways for the county.

The strong winds were the biggest issue facing the county, the sheriff added, noting visibility was severely hindered from the blowing snow. With continued winds, some roads were covered by large drifts of the frozen flakes.

“They’re getting them opened up. They’re still working on them,” Heffington said Jan. 6. “Everything is still ice packed and snow packed, but they’re getting them cleaned off.”

He said with everybody staying warm in their homes, the road crews have had an easier time plowing the roads as there isn’t any other motorist interference.

Heffington urged motorists to be careful as the temperature warms because the melting snow could freeze (See, storm, A2)

By CaRMEN ENSINGER Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun is ushering in the new year with the beginning of new recycling program called the Calhoun Recycling Initiative, which hopes to be an answer to recycling within the county.

The program, based in Hardin, is co-founded by Patricia Stelbrink and her sister, Pam Browning, who were very interested in recycling but hampered by the lack of a local place to take them.

“There has been a big push for fitness, healthy eating and social responsibility this year,” Stelbrink said. “Chief among the social responsibility aspect was recycling. We all said how we were interested in recycling but how difficult it was to do it because we don’t have recycling pickup in Hardin.”

Browning is retired from the Air Force and had previously lived in several communities where recycling wasn’t a luxury – it was a requirement.

“One of these places was Germany where people are required to separate their recyclables or face steep fines,” Stelbrink said. “She was taking her recyclables to Pittsfield every week when she went to school and we talked about how great it would be to have it here in Calhoun.”

Together, the ladies decided they were going to make the program happen and laid out a plan to do so.

“Previously, I had tried to get a program started but none of the waste haulers in the area offered any type of recycling pickup,” Stelbrink said. “Pam called and spoke to Bob Sanders and he agreed to place a container in Calhoun. The only requirement was that we cover the container with a tarp, which was donated by Home Depot, and adhere to the requirements for the types of recyclables allowed.”

The ladies went to the village of Hardin meeting and secured permission to have the container placed in a secured area behind the carwash. The 20-yard container is single stream, which means the recyclables do not have to be separated into different bins. When the container is full, Sanders Waste Removal will remove the container and replace it with another one. They then take the full container to a recycling company in Earth City, Mo. Each pickup costs $375 and the funding is currently coming from donations.

“We do not charge a fee for recycling, but we do accept donations,” Stelbrink said. “Anyone who lives in Calhoun County is allowed to bring and drop off recyclables. In the future we hope to have a program in place where people from Brussels, Batchtown and Kampsville can meet at one location in each place and have someone bring the recycling from that location to Hardin.

This would save money on gas for everyone involved and is a more environmentally sound way to do it.”

Straight line winds blew off most of the roof of the Winneberg Club House in Golden Eagle June 26. as of Jan. 7, Winneberg is still in the process of finalizing the claim for the roof, and will have a total figure of the damages in February. Tom Breckenridge, president of the club at the time, said he hopes to keep the pool open during the summer, despite the closure of the club house.

A fundraiser is being planned for January and letters have been sent to businesses to try and get donations.

“All of the people who work with the program are volunteers so the only cost is the amount of money it costs to remove and replace a container,” Stelbrink said. “We hope to bring this matter before the county board to try and secure funding through the county budget when the commissioners begin talking about the annual budget. Pam and Angie Hayn have also been exploring other options for funding such as pairing up with civic organizations in the future.”

A Facebook page has been created to promote the recycling, called Calhoun Recycling Initiative, which notifies those interested in recycling when the scheduled drop off times will be. They have currently had two pickup dates – one on Dec. 26 and another on Dec. 29 and both were quite successful.

“We had a fantastic turnout and the container is getting quite full already,” Stelbrink said.

“Now that the holidays are over, we will be going back to our regular schedule of being open on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.”

Stelbrink said once the program gets off the ground they would like to get some heavy plastic containers to place in the schools to catch many of the recyclables that are currently going into the waste stream, such as office paper.

“Melissa Brown at Calhoun Elementary has been very helpful with trying to get things started at Calhoun Elementary,” Stelbrink said. “We hope to have a program up and running there where all recyclables at the school will be sent to our container instead of the trash container.”

There are a lot of different types of recyclables which are accepted including plastic, glass, newspaper, office paper, cardboard boxes, etc.

“We have very specific requirements for what can and cannot be accepted so it is important for people to look at the flyer we have posted on our Facebook page of what is accepted and also on the reverse sides of the flyers which are hanging around the county,” Stelbrink said.

CNH Year in Review, part two JULY High winds tear roof off Winneberg Club House A storm generating high wind Wednesday, June 26, ripped the roof off of Winneberg Club House and it now sits crumpled in the parking lot.

Tom Breckenridge, president of the Winneberg Club, said the club has never been subject to such devastation before, noting the apparent cause was a straight line wind gust.

“It must have caught it just right, and lifted the roof right off of the building,” Breckenridge said. “I would estimate between 60 and 70 percent of the roof. … Like anything else of this nature, we were very surprised.”

Commissioners accept $1 million donation for courthouse project The Calhoun County Commissioners accepted a $1 million donation for the restoration of the old school building in Hardin to be used for county government offices during its regular meeting July 8.

Delford Richter, son of Marvin Richter who was a major influence in the agriculture community, donated the money to the county to restore the courthouse in honor of his father. When the project is complete, the building will be adorned with the name Marvin Richter, and will house all county offices – state’s attorney, supervisor of assessments, county clerk, etc. Richter sold agricultural products to farmers for many years in Calhoun County.

Bar owners throughout the county came to the regular county commissioner meeting July 8 to express their concerns about the raise in cost for a liquor license and the county’s relative costs to village licenses.

Gary Booth, owner of Boothy’s Palace Tavern, representing his business as well as Straight Home Bar and Grill, said the cost seems unreasonable when compared to the prices set by county villages and towns.

“We pay more money than any of the bars in the villages,” Booth said, asking why bar owners throughout the county were not part of the discussion on a new ordinance. “It’s going to put a burden on a bunch of stuff.”

Year in review part two Wendi Mielke earns GRI designation

Burch seeks circuit court judge position Charles H.W. Burch announced he would seek candidacy for the position of resident circuit court judge, a vacancy that will be filled during the general election next November.

Chief Judge of the 8th Judicial District Richard Greenlief announced his retirement two weeks ago from his position in Calhoun County effective at the end of November 2014.

Brussels receives exposure in magazine A recent issue of American Airlines’ magazine “American Ways” features five cities whose names relate to their European counterparts, and Brussels made the list.

Dale Hagen, life-long Brussels resident and board member of the Alton Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, said he was contacted by the airline company early in the year as it was researching small American towns for a travel story.

“They were looking for cities in the United States that had, if you would, sister cities in Europe,” Hagen said, noting the article is going to be surprising. “I’ve flown American many times to Europe, and it would be kind of interesting to open a magazine and see Brussels, Illinois.”

Commissioners appoint supervisor of assessments to office Nearly six months after removing the former supervisor of assessments from office in a unanimous five-member vote, the Calhoun County commissioners approved to appoint Patricia Langland to the position Sept. 5.

OCTOBER Kieffer sentenced to three years Former Calhoun County assessor Sherrie Brandi Kieffer was sentenced to three years at the Illinois Department of Corrections Sept. 26 where she faced charges for official misconduct, great bodily harm and insurance fraud.

In March of this year, Kieffer was removed from office by a unanimous five-member vote of the county commissioners after she was re-elected to her position last November. The commissioners cited a number of failures of office as reason for her dismissal.

Man charged with reckless homicide after fatal crash The driver of a four-door Ford F250 truck was charged with reckless homicide after a 31-year-old Pleasant Hill woman died in an accident Sunday morning north of The Palace bar on the Mississippi River Road.

The driver of the vehicle was identified as Randall T. Clendenny of Pleasant Hill. Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said the call was received at 12:41 a.m. Oct. 20. He said he got to the scene at 1:47 a.m. when he pronounced April L. McKee dead.

State purchases $3.4 million ferry for Kampsville Commuters traveling across the Illinois River to and from Kampsville will soon be traversing the river on a brand new barge and push boat in Kampsville.

DECEMBER Village fields complaints about water The Hardin Village board of trustees heard from an upset resident about the quality of water he receives at his home and his displeasure in the board considering a raise in water bill prices.

“I understand you folks want to raise the water rates. Before you do, I want you to take a look at my filters,” Anderson said.

Gary Anderson of Hardin held up a picture showing a filter muddied black after three months of use next to a pristine one which had not been installed. Anderson said raising water rates is unreasonable given the quality of water serviced to residents of the village.

Democrat challenges Burch for circuit judge seat A Carrollton native whose mother grew up in Calhoun County filed to challenge Charles H.W. Burch for the 8th Judicial District circuit judge seat in Calhoun County.

Tammy L. Evans, daughter of Ron Evans and Rosemary (Becker) Evans, will run on the Democratic ticket in the primary election against Charles H.W. Burch, March 18, 2014. The seat is being vacated by Judge Richard Greenlief when he ends his term to enter retirement.

St. Mary reconstruction charges through snags Though buildings codes have held back reconstruction of St. Mary Church in Brussels, the path forward is a bit clearer after a verbal agreement between the diocese and state at an October meeting.

Father Don Roberts said members of the church’s building committee along with Senator Sam McCann, officials from the Attorney General’s office and the parish’s architect attended the meeting.

In May, renovations were put to a halt as the church ran into issues with handicap accessibility due to building codes.

The architect had designed the project using historic building codes for the church, which was built in 1863.

However, state officials said the exterior of the church falls under historic codes while the interior falls under more modern ones. The difference in code usage caused issue with handicap accessibility.

Snow storm (Continued from A1) again, keeping driving conditions dangerous.

“Be careful with that warm temperature on these snow-packed roads,” Heffington said. “It’ll be just like a blanket of ice. It’s going to become real, real slick when it starts to melt, so be careful of that.”

He said motorists should also be wary of black ice – thin, transparent layers of ice on roadways that look relatively safe.

And with the sub-zero temperatures, he said drivers should bring extra layers or blankets or other supplies in case they get stuck on the road.

Wearing a warm base layer with additional layers to break wind and keep the warmth near the body is key to fighting the bitter cold and gusting winds, he added.

According to the five-day weather forecast on The Weather Channel’s website accessed Jan. 6, temperatures will increase throughout the week with a high of 42 degrees Friday.

Rate increase (Continued from A1) problems continue to stack up, causing worse problems in the future.

Board member Matt Haug stressed the report was conducted by an outside service using accurate figures and basic mathematics to provide a possible solution to the village’s water problems.

Water bills will increase during the next billing cycle in February, and with them will be information regarding why the water bills have increased and how the money will be used to address problems residents have.

The board also approved to pay

taxes on a property owned by the village and rented to a business. The business owner agreed to eventually purchase the property from the mortgage company when the business got its footing. The two years of taxes paid by the village totaled around $5,600.

Additionally, village clerk Danielle Hurley said the village expects to receive around $32,000 in flood relief money, though a portion of that will be issued to the county.

In other business, the village approved the treasurer’s report, the bills and the minutes of the previous meeting.

AUGUST Greenlief announces retirement for November 2014 When he retires next year, Chief Judge of the 8th Judicial Circuit Richard Greenlief will finish an 18-year term of office as the circuit court judge for Calhoun County.

Greenlief was first elected to the position after a primary race with State’s Attorney Richard Ringhausen in 1996. Greenlief investigated the possibilities of becoming a judge after 10 years practicing law in Quincy where he also was assistant state’s attorney for Adams, Brown and Pike counties.

“I knew a lot of the different people involved in the court systems in those counties, plus I had family contacts in Schuyler and Cass counties,” the 1983 Southern Illinois University at Carbondale graduate said, noting he was late to enter into law school because of his military service with the Army from 1971 to 1973.

OBITUARIES

SimpkinS Ruth Ann (Schudel) Simpkins, 74, of Kirkwood, Mo., former Calhoun County resident, died at 6:38 p.m.

Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014 at the Bethesda Dilworth Hospice Care in Webster Groves, Mo. She was born in Alton on Dec. 10, 1939, one of two daughters born to the late Walter L. “Pat” and Margaret (Byrd) Schudel.

Ruth and her sister, Patsy, had a wonderful childhood growing up south of Hamburg near aunts, uncles and cousins, along with their parents on the family farm.

She attended Oak Grove School, a one-room schoolhouse, and graduated with the Class of 1957 from Hardin High School. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Western Illinois University in Macomb in 1960. Professionally, she taught Home Economics at Bowen High School, where she met a science teacher named Jon Simpkins. The two married on Aug. 7, 1966 at the First Presbyterian Church in Hardin, and his death occurred on July 27, 1986.

Following the birth of her children, Ruth raised her children in Princeton, Ill., where she was employed for many years as a bookkeeper at Citizens Bank. Later in life, she became a sorority house mother at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. She loved and nurtured her children, and was delighted that each of them have earned a college degree.

Her purpose in life was her devotion to her children.

Some of her favorite activities included homemaking, shopping, antiquing, gardening, sewing, cooking, watching football games, caring for her cat, and adoring her precious grandchildren.

Surviving are her children and their spouses, Patrick Simpkins of Plainfield, Kirk and Amy Simpkins of Webster Groves, Mo., Erich and Karen Simpkins of Collierville, Tenn., and Elizabeth Ann “Betsy” Simpkins of Kirkwood, Mo.; four grandchildren, Margaret Grace, Mary Alice, Jon Grayson, and Anna Claire; along with her beloved sister and brother-in-law, Margaret Jo “Patsy” and William Halemeyer of Fieldon; and three nieces, Annette, Jane and Sarah.

Visitation was held from 9 a.m. until time of funeral services at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7 at the Hardin Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Paul D. Frazier officiating.

She was laid to rest alongside her parents at the Dayton Cemetery in rural Eldred.

In lieu of any flowers and plants, the family would prefer memorials to the First Presbyterian Church in Hardin.

A luncheon will be served at the church immediately following the graveside services, and all relatives and friends are welcome.

Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville is in charge of the arrangements.

CarriCo Everett Neil Carrico, 93, of Jerseyville died at 11:05 a.m. Friday, Jan. 3, 2014, at Jerseyville Nursing and Rehab Center in Jerseyville.

Born June 14, 1920, in rural Kane, he was the eldest child of Everett Sylvester and Olive Inez (Hetzel) Carrico.

He was a 1938 graduate of Carrollton High School, and attended the Chicago Art Institute before moving to Hardin.

Mr. Carrico married the former Betty Jean (Rastello) Carrico on Sept. 17, 1943, in Hardin, and she survives in Carrollton. The couple later divorced. They are the parents of one daughter, Sue Ellen (Carrico) Houseman of Carrollton. Later, Mr. Carrico married the former Arbedella Kallal and she survives in Jerseyville.

In 1947, Mr. Carrico moved to Carrollton where he owned and operated Carrico’s Music Store and Carrico’s Variety Store until 1958.

He was very active in the Democratic party, running for the Illinois State Senate in 1970.

We Learn From Our Mistakes We hear the advice to learn from our mistakes so often that it almost seems a cliché, but perhaps we need to push this advice a bit further. Isn't it the case, after all, that we learn most when we make mistakes? We send children to school for twelve long years, expecting they will make plenty of mistakes, but knowing they will learn to read and write and do math and science better by continually improving on their mistakes. In medicine nowadays, common mistakes are taught in medical schools, so that new doctors and nurses might avoid them. In some areas, mistakes are sought after as portals of discovery.

In jazz music, the so-called "blue note" or what seems a clear mistake, is often the start of an inspired improvisation. Poets too seek the "blue note" in language, the place where a mistake in usage or grammar leads to some insight or a nice turn of phrase. A genius is not necessarily someone who makes fewer mistakes, but rather someone whose mistakes are often productive or beautiful. So, we should learn from our mistakes, but perhaps more importantly, risk making mistakes in order that we might grow and learn.

– Christopher Simon

Joshua Jorden, Southwestern High School, son of Tina and Jeffrey Jorden of Brighton. He is interested in civil engineering and will attend either Lewis and Clark or SIUE.

This all began on Dec. 22, 1963 in Nashville, Ill. at the wedding reception of Al’s first marriage when the Meyer boys and others spiked the wedding punch and provided “shots” in the back room.

The tradition has become less rowdy and much more classy with a four course meal centered around St. Mary’s turtle soup and Larry’s custom made cocktails provided at the home of Larry and Susan Meyer of Golden Eagle.

Much of the evening was spent watching CD’s of old country music stars and the construction of Al and Diane’s new house in the Ozarks.

The ladies demanded to be included in the group picture this year, but just as luck would have it, it didn’t turn out.

Better luck next year girls!

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS ■ Kampsville News

■ Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes ■ 883-2333 attended the Christmas celebration of their daughter, Shelley Kinder and her family. Present were Mike, Bethany and Piper Wittman of Jerseyville and Cody and Lindsay Welsh of Marshall, IL on Sunday, Dec. 22. Others attending were Doris Weishaar and Paul and Pat Reichmann of Jerseyville and Brad Stuesse of Union, MO. Visits were also made by Susan Kennedy and Bruce Kinder and boys, Kyle and Blake. Piper was especially surprised by a visit by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus that afternoon.

On Christmas Day Walter and Gerry Kinder, Dave and Sue Kennedy and Justin and Shelly Kinder visited with Bruce and Patti Kinder, Kyle and Blake at their home.

Christmas Eve dinner guests of Bob and Bonnie Held were all their family, along with Marie Held and Kerry and Barb Ward. They also celebrated the birthday of their daughter Kris Hagen, who was born on Christmas Eve. Many more “happy ones” Kris!

On Christmas Day dinner, and an afternoon of visiting with family, was enjoyed at the home of Marie Held. Present were Kerry and Barb Ward, Patrick and friend Rachell Sapp, all of Taylorville, Jim and Sharon Held of Alton, Jean and Rae Payne of Bloomington and Bob and Bonnie Held and Eric.

Over the week-end we were bombarded by nine to 10 inches of blowing and drifting snow.

Added to that was the falling temperature and this morning (Monday) a low of 10 BELOW. At noon it is still three BELOW. Old man winter is certainly being rough on us.

Birthday greetings this week to my son John Carnes, also Cheyenne Brundies, Janis Taulman, Travis Devine, Shonna Fortschneider, Kaitlyn Muntman, Nancy Kulp, Randy Toppmeyer, Carol (Murphy) Friedel, Blake Kamp, Dakota Schulte and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy Anniversary to Andy and Rachel Hartman, Gary and Kathy Fortschneider and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week.

Hope you all had a great Christmas, and Santa came to visit.

Ours was wonderful. We had all our kids and kids-in-law home for the first time in more years than I can remember. But, I want to start at the beginning. Christmas morning we joined Paul, Betty, Terrill, and Bev at Mark, Robin, David, Jason and Mary’s for breakfast. Then home for my nap, and then to Bev and Terrill’s to enjoy Christmas with them and Chet and Vanessa. Thursday I spent the day at the office getting the monthly water/sewer bills entered into the computer. Brother-in-law, Deener, called and invited us for supper.

Friday, grandkids, Jeremy and Anne, Terril, Redeye and I enjoyed lunch at the Kampsville Inn, and then Terrill, Redeye and I met Bev at Mike and Becky’s at the Villa. Bev had to work.

Rusty, Sonya, Reed, Ross and Rowe, Sarah, Charlotte, Sawyer, Mary and John were also there. Alex and Chad had to work. After midnight Mass in NC, Rusty and family drove to the Villa for a nap before going to Carol’s for Christmas. Becky and Mike had Open House for family Friday afternoon. Afterwards games were played and most of us didn’t go to bed until the wee hours of Saturday morning. After a couple hours of sleep, Rusty and family loaded up and headed back to NC. Sonya had to work Monday. Best Christmas for us in years.

Redeye attended Mass with me Xmas Eve and I went to Church with him immediately afterwards. We sat with Deener and Bob. Deener was having a lot of pain in his knee, and I automatically, like I do for Redeye, reached over and rubbed his knee. I looked over at Redeye and Bob and they were cracking up. The next day at Deener’s, Bob informed the family that Aunt Millie was rubbing Dad’s knee in Church last night. Well, after all, it is all in the family.

I slept most of Saturday afternoon after getting home from the Villa, and then slept all day Sunday.

And so I was almost finished with the news when electricity went off twice and I lost everything. Hopefully, I can remember most of it. Here goes: And the next day it snowed and it snowed and it snowed. Thanks again to Mark Becker for snow removal.

Hope you all had a very very Happy New Year. We spent New Year’s Eve afternoon getting water bills in the mail. Later I attended New Year’s Eve Mass, and then we retired early and watched TV. New Year’s Day we spent the day at home with Redeye watching the Parade and me doing laundry. The weather was so cold I decided to stay in the house the rest of the week, even cancelled my hair appointment. I might as well have run barefoot up the street, because Friday evening I was sick, ran a fever, etc. Redeye wanted to take me to the ER, but I convinced him that if I wasn’t better Saturday morning, we would go. Fever broke sometime early morning, and I felt good enough to stay home. Guess I had the overnight flu. I might as well have run up the road barefoot, and I was so careful to stay in. Redeye, again, became my well loving Caregiver.

Due to the snow, Kampsville Village monthly meeting has been cancelled on the 7th, and reset for the 14th.

Wednesday, January 8, we will celebrate our 59th anniversary. It has been unique, so to speak.

We could have charged admission to our fights, especially during the 20 years we ran a service station, plus, Redeye was a bus driver, coached grade school basketball, which meant that I had to run the business while he was gone. Station was open from six in the morning until ten at night.

We had three kids to feed, clothe and put through school, therefore, I had several side jobs including running an Ice Cream Shop for the Arkies, waitressing, ran the Arkies Library, planted, hoed and shucked corn for Bob Bess, and then finally, I got a real job working for Public Aid in Hardin. I was there almost 20 years, and then State decided to downside, therefore, I bought enough time to make me eligible for a pension. In the meantime, Redeye had become Mayor of Kampsville, and I helped when necessary after work and on weekends. After retirement I became a the Village Clerk, and here we are 59 years later, still together, still working together, and fighting cancer. It has been a he!! of a ride, but never dull.

Our three kids have given us eleven grandkids and five great grandkids

visit. Brad is the best carpet cleaner ever, and a wonderful friend. He frequently stops by to see how I am doing.

And how was your week???

See you next week (hopefully).

Little Acts of Kindness Little acts of kindness may Chase somebody’s blues away A smile, a look , a fond “hello” Is a gift that you can bestow And they send an SOS. A smile can go a long, long way When a life has gone astray.

Don’t be afraid to say “helo” Or help someone who’s feeling low.

For smiles will lift one’s spirit up And happiness will fill his cup.

Little acts of kindness bring A happiness awakening, So, with a smile and friendly nod, Give the gift that domes from God Nora M. Bazeman

Farming alone doesn’t always pay the bills By carmen ensinger Campbell Publications It’s sad to say, but the days of the good old family farm where three and four generations worked the land to raise their family is all but gone.

Oh, the farms are still there and so are the families, but more and more those families are having to seek out other income to survive as the land can no longer provide for their family on its own.

Bob Reif of rural Carrollton is just one example of a longtime farming family who has had to diversify just to keep doing what they love.

Reif is a sixth generation farmer whose family currently farms 600 tillable acres. He has been farming since he was old enough to go with his grandpa, Frank Reif, on the tractor.

Reif graduated from University of Illinois in 1978 with a degree in Agricultural Economics and Farm Management and began working on the family farm along with his father and brother and raising his family.

“It was just a different time back then,” Reif said. “My family and I could live on $1,500 a month, but you just can’t do that these days. A family has rent, utilities, car payments, insurance payments, etc. You are not going to see the small family farm of 160 acres that is going to be able to sustain a family like you used to because the margins just aren’t there.

Instead of paying 15 cents a gallon for gas you are paying $3.”

Reif supplements his farming income with a full-time job at DOT Foods, a job he began back in 1999 when the bottom fellow out of the

hog market.

“My brother Rodney and I had been running 250 sows on the farm and the hog market crashed,” Reif said. “You were selling hogs for less than it cost you to produce them, so we had to figure out something else to put groceries on the table.”

He began driving a truck part time for DOT Foods, and his brother, Rodney, became a road commissioner to supplement his family’s income.

This part-time job would become full-time in 2003.

“By 2003 my kids were starting to go to college. so I had tuition bills to pay because I wanted them to get their education,” Reif said. “When I sat down and penciled it out I had run 75,000 miles the year before working only part-time, so if I went to fulltime I would get health insurance, which I had to pay for myself before that, paid holidays, paid vacations and got into their profit sharing and 401K retirement plan.”

As much as he loved farming, it was an opportunity he just couldn’t pass up.

“It was getting more and more difficult to support a family on the family farm because the expenses of just living are so much higher than they used to be,” he said. “There is no way a farm this size could support my family and my brother’s, let alone my son’s when they got out of school.”

But this is not to say the family is not still operating the family farm.

Reif, his brother and his three sons all continue to operate the family farm along with holding down full-time jobs.

“If a family has enough help, you can hold down a second job and still

manage to get the crops in and out,” Reif said. “I couldn’t do this if the boys weren’t able to jump in and help the way they do. My son, Tim, drives for DOT Foods too, but when he is home on the weekends he and I will come out here and work long hours on the weekend getting the crops out. My other son, David, who is a teacher, comes down to help also and my other son, Greg, is here pretty much all of the time. We may get almost as many crops out on a Friday and Saturday as other farmers get out during the week because there are more of us so we can run the equipment longer hours.”

In the 1980s much of the farm land was bought up by huge corporations who now rent out the land.

“The price of land is so high right now that the land cannot pay for itself,” Reif said. “An acre of land in Greene County is going anywhere from $5,500 to $6,000 an acre on average, with some selling for as much as $7,000 an acre. T,he guys that are buying the land are investing money they have sitting in the bank drawing zero interest or they are using money from other land they already own to pay for it. Your average farmer is not going to be able to pay $6,000 an acre for it and make it pay for itself.”

Reif said he doesn’t envision things changing anytime soon.

“We would all quit everything else we are doing and just farm if we could, but the economics just aren’t there right now for our family,” he said. “The old saying, ‘you can take the boy off the farm but you can’t take the farm out of the boy’ – that is so true.”

Farmers identify regulations as biggest threat to long-term profitability for third straight year Delegates and attendees at the 2013 Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting rated government over-regulation as the biggest threat to the profitability of Illinois agriculture in the next 10 years. The answer was in response to a survey of 278 delegates, alternates and other Farm Bureau members attending the meeting Dec. 7-10 in Chicago.

“Once again, our members have identified government over-regulation as their biggest concern for their longterm profitability and longevity,” said newly-elected IFB President Rich Guebert. “And it’s certainly a concern that isn’t unfounded. As we move forward this year, our leadership team will be looking for ways to work with our elected representatives and government agencies to help ensure our members will be able to continue to farm efficiently and profitably, without unnecessary rules and regulations from the government.”

Forty percent of respondents who answered the open-ended question named regulations, governmental entities and/or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the biggest threat to profitability. This was the third consecutive year that regulations were the most-often cited response to the question. Respondents also men-

tioned the following issues as potential threats to their profitability in the next decade: a combination of higher input costs and lower grain/livestock prices (32 percent); cash rents/land prices (5 percent); and lack of export demand for US-grown commodities (5 percent).

When asked about their corn planting intentions for next year, nearly 82 percent who answered the question indicated their corn acreage would increase or remain the same. Nearly 51 percent of corn and soybean growers said they deliver their products directly or indirectly to the ethanol or soy biodiesel market. And 32 percent of respondents said that from a policy standpoint, the Renewable Fuel Standard has the greatest impact on their profitability. That’s nearly double the number (18.1 percent) who said the farm program has the greatest impact.

When asked if they purchased crop insurance in 2013, 88.5 percent of respondents said they did so. A nearly identical number — 88.1 percent — said they plan to purchase it in 2014.

The survey also gauged Farm Bureau members’ opinions on where IFB should prioritize its efforts in the next year. Completion of the farm

bill was the number-one response, followed by contesting unnecessary regulations and maintaining ethanol policy.

Additionally, 71 percent said they strongly agreed with the need for farm organizations to increase non-farm consumers’ understanding of Illinois farming practices, while nearly 58 percent said they strongly agreed that consumers’ support of farming is important to the long-term success of Illinois farmers.

“This is the third consecutive year we’ve done this survey and the results are always very telling,” Guebert said.

“As the new president of the organization, the results will really help me and the rest of the leadership team decide which issues are most important to our members and should be pursued.”

The Illinois Farm Bureau is a member of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a national organization of farmers and ranchers.

Founded in 1916, IFB is a non-profit, membership organization directed by farmers who join through their county Farm Bureau. IFB has a total membership of more than 400,000 and a voting membership of more than 82,000. IFB represents three out of four Illinois farmers.

concealed carry applications available online By roBerT lYons Calhoun News-Herald More than 4,000 online applications for a concealed carry permit were received by Illinois State Police in the first 24 hours of availability, though none were received in Calhoun County by Tuesday morning, according to a source at the sheriff’s office.

The online application system went live to the public on Sunday and saw an onslaught of activity.

Local sheriffs are being kept in the loop as to which of their county’s residents are applying for the right to carry a firearm.

Concealed carry gives permitted individuals the right to carry a loaded firearm in public. Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal welcomes the right for citizens to carry a gun, but said that right comes with accountability.

“They’re taking on a big responsibility by carrying one,” Kallal said. “You need to realize that guns are for one thing and one thing only, and that’s to save your life.”

Bob Jones, a certified concealed carry instructor in Jerseyville, has been training individuals since October. As of the beginning of January, 60 participants – including two from Greene County and one from Calhoun County – had taken and passed his classes. He said he’s had a mixed bag of participants varying between exmilitary and private individuals.

“I’ve had two women who are worried about their personal safety

because of where they go to work,” Jones said. “They want to carry a gun with them just in case, because they’ve been confronted before.”

After 16 hours of training, which includes eight hours of shooting, qualified individuals may apply for the concealed carry permit.

But, to expedite the process they first must be fingerprinted at an approved provider. Jones said the nearest location to be fingerprinted is in Glen Carbon.

Kallal, however, said his office may offer fingerprinting in the future, if he decides to navigate the red tape laid out by the state.

“It’s a potential revenue source, but it’s also a potential headache,” he said.

Once an application is received, the ISP has between 90 and 120 days to issue the permit or reject the applicant. Kallal said he’s confident primarily only responsible gun owners will receive the permits.

“There may be a few snafus, but I think for the most part [the ISP] have done their best to cover all the bases,” Kallal said.

Within 30 days of receiving an application, a county’s sheriff can object to particular individuals receiving the permit.

Even believing concealed carry permit holders are law abiding citizens, Kallal believes the amount of required instruction is insufficient.

“I don’t think the training they’re getting is enough. I think they need to train, train, train,” he said. “We need to train more than what we do.”

Shortly after concealed carry was signed into law in July 2013, state officials estimated nearly 400,000 applications would be received in the first year. Jones said he expects now that the application is available, more people will begin the process to obtain a permit.

“There’s going to be a big movement of people coming in,” Jones said.

The permit costs $150 and is valid for five years.

concealed carry checklist n 16 hours of Concealed Carry firearms training provided by an ISP approved Instructor. n Electronic Copy of my training certificate(s). You will be required to upload your electronic certificate during the application process. n An Illinois Digital I.D. n A Valid Driver’s License or State Identification card. n A valid FOID card. n A head and shoulder electronic photograph taken within the last 30 days. n Be able to provide the last 10 years of residency.

Wellness Center starts weight loss challenge Jan. 9 BoB Crossen Campbell Publications Common New Year’s resolutions involve health and fitness, and the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center will be helping that cause with a community weight loss challenge for members and nonmembers of the center.

Jen Lyles, fitness coordinator, said the program is popular this time of year, netting around 75 to 100 participants. She said all the people who take part form a community of motivation to keep each other striving for their weight loss goals.

“We build a community and have a lot of camaraderie which definitely helps,” Lyles said. “I find when we do our group meetings and our fitness and nutrition education, it’s a great time to meet other people. People will even share email addresses or they share recipes.”

The weight loss program costs $25 for eight weeks for both members and non-members, and those who do not have a membership to the Wellness Center can receive a membership for the duration of the weight loss program at a cost of $109.

Participants of the challenge are required to weigh in at the beginning of the challenge and at the end.

Lyles said there will be optional weigh-ins in the middle of the program as well, but she said with pre-

vious programs, constant weigh-ins became discouraging for some.

She said previous programs required people weigh in every week, and if somebody believed they could not win, the individual would drop the program entirely. Lyles said the Wellness Center attempted to alleviate that discouragement as its aim is to encourage healthy lifestyles for the community.

Lyles said the monetary investment is a strong motivator for many of the participants who will have two group sessions with trainers to ask questions about nutrition and exercise for the program.

The fitness coordinator said the participants are largely on their own when it comes to exercising and the routines they’ll follow.

“They’re on their own because we believe there is no one-sizefits-all program to give people,” Lyles said, noting the question and answer sessions about nutrition and exercise will aid those new to the program.

The male and the female who lose the highest percentage of body weight will win a cash prize, the value of which is dependent on the number of people who register for the program.

Similar weight loss programs will be provided throughout the year to keep participants motivated to stay healthy.

Those interested in joining the program can contact the JCH Wellness Center at (618) 498-3500 for more information and to register.

The first weigh in is Jan. 9 from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. or Jan. 10 from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Brussels freshman Baylee Kiel lines up a shot attempt against Calhoun Friday at Calhoun High School. Kiel led the Lady Raiders with 10 points against the Lady Warriors.

Mike Weaver/Calhoun News-Herald

Freshman Alexa Pikesley protects the ball and looks to make a pass for Brussels Friday in Hardin. The Lady Raiders are 7-7 through their first 14 games this season.

They don't play for possession of an Apple Crate like their male classmates, but the Calhoun Lady Warriors and Brussels Lady Raiders girls basketball teams met for their annual Calhoun County clash Friday at Calhoun High School.

The Lady Warriors, led by sophomore Emma Baalman's game-high 20 points, pulled ahead early en route to winning a 67-30 decision Friday in Hardin.

Calhoun began the game with a 25-6 run through the first quarter before taking a 30-14 lead into halftime. Another strong Lady Warriors run to begin the second half kept Brussels from shrinking its deficit.

Calhoun outscored the Lady Raiders 22-10 in the third quarter, widening its lead to 52-24 entering the fourth.

Behind Emma Baalman, sophomores Grace Baalman and Kassidy Klocke reached double-digit scoring with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Lady Warriors sophomore Sydney White added seven points and senior Courtney Gresham chipped in six.

Freshman Baylee Kiel scored 10 points to lead Brussels, which dipped to 7-7 this season with the loss. Sophomore Faith Maag and freshman Grace Stephens added eight and six points, respectively.

The Lady Raiders' season continues Saturday at the annual Lady Spartan Classic at North Greene High School.

Calhoun improved to 15-2 overall this season following a 67-24 win against North Mac Saturday in Hardin.

Emma Baalman scored a game-high 20 points for the second-straight outing and another strong start propelled the Lady Warriors to victory.

By the end of the first quarter, Calhoun built a 27-6 lead and never looked back. Grace Baalman scored 11 points, Klocke added 10, Gresham scored nine and Sydney White chipped in seven for the Lady Warriors.

Calhoun, 4-0 within the Western Illinois Valley Conference, resumes league play at 7:45 p.m. Friday at Carrollton High School.

The rival Lady Hawks (11-2) are also 4-0 within the conference, meaning Friday's winner will take sole possession of first place in the WIVC standings.

Emma Baalman drives to the basket against Brussels Friday at Calhoun High School. The Lady Warriors sophomore led all scorers with 20 points as Calhoun beat the Lady Raiders 67-30. Baalman scored 20 points for the second time in as many games as the Lady Warriors improved to 15-2 this season with a 67-24 win against North Mac Saturday in Hardin. michaelrweaver.com

Warriors finish 2-2, fourth at CHT Calhoun loses starting point guard SAM ELLioTT Calhoun News-Herald After losing its first two games and its starting point guard, the Calhoun High School boys basketball team bounced back to win its final two games at the 13th annual Carrollton Holiday Tournament.

A 72-48 win against Beardstown in their tournament finale Monday, Dec. 30, gave the Warriors a 2-2 record and fourth-place finish through four tournament games.

Calhoun got off to a fast start, taking a 16-5 lead through the first quarter and a 31-25 advantage into halftime. A 25-12 Warriors run through the third quarter helped Calhoun seal the win.

Junior Gus Baalman led all scorers with 19 points against Beardstown before he and senior teammate Andrew Sievers were later named to the event's all-tournament team.

Mitchell Bick added 18 points while Brandon Fraley and Sam Barczewski each chipped in 10 against the Tigers to help improve Calhoun to 6-3 this season.

The Warriors were without starting point guard Blake Booth for their final three games at the Carrollton Holiday Tournament after the sophomore sustained a wrist injury in Calhoun's opener against the host Hawks.

"We knew it wasn’t feeling the best, but we didn’t know at the time that Blake Booth broke his wrist in the first half of that game and ended up playing the whole second half with a broken wrist," Warriors head coach Ryan Graner said. "He doesn’t know how it happened and we can’t find it on film, but he got it X-rayed the next morning and it’s broken. He’s probably out six-toeight weeks, if not longer."

The Warriors adjusted to not having Booth in the lineup in time to win their final two games at Carrollton against Brussels and Beardstown.

"It’s an old cliché, but as a coach you’re constantly telling your bench to be ready because you never know what’s going to happen," Graner said.

"When you lose your starting point guard, it kind of shifts everybody else out of positions we’ve been working on since last season.

"One thing I liked coming into this year was we’re a lot deeper than we have been in the past," he added.

"To come out the last two games and have people step up and fill roles they hadn’t been expected to fill with Blake’s absence kind of gives us some momentum going into the new year."

Calhoun's 2014 continues at the 92nd annual Winchester Invitational Tournament Saturday. selliott@campbellpublications.net
